Kaalidas (2019) User Reviews

gripping screenplay

[catchuanbu · 8/10 · 1 January 2020]

Good psychological thriller, a crime movie without showing violence. Even though the first half begins quite staid & feels like little bit lengthy. The second half manages to make the audience sit on the edge of their seat. Ann Sheetal & Suresh Menon justice to role theirs roles & very dignified. The way the writer has kept Bharath's role largely ordinary, it's appreciable. Unexpected ending makes audience to appreciate the movie. Plus 1. Neat script & Focussed narration (devoid of unnecessary cinematic elements- no stunts / punch dialogues) 2. Subtle message Those who love Thrillers - Its a good watch

A great suspence thriller

[jabujacob · 7/10 · 23 August 2020]

A great suspense thriller. Totally impossible to guess the suspect. Lot of things felt very illogical until the very end. Great script and executed.

A different psychological thriller

[saru2020 · 6/10 · 24 December 2019]

A nicely made, engaging investigative thriller highlights the vulnerabilities of young homemaker ladies who get exploited with corrupt men/boys. The twist in the climax wasn't new but still a surprising one.

Although overall it was engaging enough still it could've been improved with a somewhat fast screenplay. Music/bgm weren't so convincing.

Inspired from fight club

[mathiarasan-75331 · 5 January 2020]

The movie is not an excellent movie but it is a good movie for tamil industry it is a new attempt and all the actors are performed well several scenes look like a fight club movie but not copy from the movie it is only inspired and the screenplay was too different overall it is one time watchable thriller

Misses the Mark

[aji4u4ever · 6/10 · 4 January 2020]

Story revolves around the several mysterious suicide killings in Chennai city which is investigated by Kaalidas and his superior ASP George.

I had pretty high expectations because of the thrilling trailer and "Mazhai" Song but went in drain.

The plot was good but ruined by the lackluster screenplay and the narration was also slow paced which really affected the whole movie. The racy narration could have boosted to an another level.

Playing his first role as a cop, Bharath's performance was solid but didn't have much to do. Ann Sheethal (playing her first movie in Tamil) and Suresh Menon who plays another pivotal role did a wonderful job

Vishal Chandrasekhar's music and background score were another plus point for the movie. The background score itself elevated the mysterious backgrounds whole throughout the narration.

If you are expecting a crime thriller like last year's blockbuster Ratchasan, then you will get disappointed.

Strictly above average for me with 6.2 on 10

Seems illogical until...!

[sriramthestranger · 6/10 · 18 August 2020]

A duty bound policeman seems too little to care about his family when he is caught up in a series of victims jumping off the terrace. The only thing that keeps the viewer engaged is how the cop catches the killer who is revealed quite early in the movie. After some point, it gets frustrating on repetition of the same scene - "finding an accused and them saying I did not kill the lady". But, all these things sum up beautifully in the end. A good movie from the Director.

Keeps you guessing till end!

[mvinoth-91250 · 9/10 · 16 January 2020]

Kudos to the director for keeping the suspense till very end. strong performances and gripping screenplay make this movie a must watch

A phycological thriller that could have been perfect with a fast-pacing screenplay!

[arjun-tkalathil · 7/10 · 3 January 2020]

A good movie which doesnt show us nothing in its first half and the preclimax scenes made a lot of clues made this movie impressive one!!!

Brilliant Screenplay

[lightninglohesh · 10/10 · 15 December 2019]

Such a brilliant writing Best Mystery/Crime of recent times after Raatsasan Tamil Cinema is in safe handa

Waste of time!

[suryasathya-42339 · 2/10 · 3 January 2020]

I nearly slept during some parts of the movie as it was that boring. Poor storyline, poor acting, songs were placed in the wrong times and unnecessary bgms after every 30 seconds. It did have a few gripping moments but so many characters in the movie made it very hard to understand. The climax was a joke. This movie is a waste of time.

Great writing 👍

[sathishmarriswaran · 10/10 · 2 January 2020]

Top notch film.. this film only for ppl carve for different genre.

Terrible direction and mediocre acting

[cakecum · 1/10 · 31 December 2019]

The characters in the film are stupid, the direction is stupid. Nothing can beat ratsasan. The film wasn't even thrilling.

Awesome movie

[yogatharani · 10/10 · 14 December 2019]

Good Screenplay! and Good Story Telling

[balajijanarthanan · 8/10 · 4 January 2020]

Strong Comeback for Bharath. After lot more struggles by choosing the inappropriate stories. He is perfect cop guy. Good support role from suresh Menon sir. Debut actress Ann Sheetal, played wonderful and important role. This story indirectly intimate us what the moral line for this story i.e., director brilliance. Great applause for director sir, background score, cinematographer.
